Luke 23: 32 - 47: One Republic’s song ‘Start Again’, may not be their most popular song, but the words of this song are an anthem of the age. The song speaks of a desire to start again. It’s a desire that everyone has, because we all know how much we’ve messed up. It’s therefore a song our world sings. But, what if someone deeply wronged you, and asked to ‘start again’? Would you agree to that? What about justice though? Surely we can’t push all things under the rug and pretend it’s ok?

The world needs to find where true forgiveness to take place and, outside of the Bible, there isn’t a real answer. In this sermon, Roydon Frost explains how forgiveness takes place so that no matter what wrong we have done, there is justice and peace for us. Whether you need forgiveness or need to forgive others, this sermon is for you.

Anthems of the Age Part V -Start Again - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 15 January 2023)

This sermon explores the biblical call to church discipline as taught in 1 Corinthians 5, emphasizing that discipline is an act of love aimed at restoration, not punishment. It addresses the seriousness of unrepented sin within the church community and the responsibility believers have to protect the body of Christ from moral corruption. Drawing from both Paul’s teaching and Jesus’ words in Matthew 18, the message outlines a clear, grace-filled process for confronting sin. It reminds the church that our identity in Christ calls us to live differently — as a holy, unleavened people. Above all, the sermon challenges us to pursue truth and love together, holding one another accountable in humility and faithfulness.

Saints & Sinners Part IX - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 20 July 2025)

This sermon from 1 Corinthians 6:1–8 challenges the church to reflect Christ in how we handle conflict, especially among believers. Paul rebukes the Corinthians for taking each other to secular courts, calling it a failure of wisdom, unity, and gospel witness. Instead, he urges believers to pursue reconciliation within the church and to be willing to suffer loss rather than damage Christ’s reputation. The message reminds us that the church is a community of recovering sinners, called to live differently from the world. At its heart, the sermon calls us to prioritise Christ’s honour and the unity of his body above our personal rights.

Saints & Sinners Part X - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 27 July 2025)

This sermon explores the story of Jesus healing the man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5, highlighting both the miracle and its deeper spiritual meaning. Jesus’s question, “Do you want to get well?”, challenges us to confront our own brokenness and need for healing. More than physical restoration, the message emphasizes that true healing comes through faith in Christ and leads to holiness. The sermon draws a powerful parallel to the bronze serpent in Numbers 21, calling us to look to Jesus for salvation. It is a call to stop waiting on external solutions and to turn in faith to the only one who truly heals—Jesus Christ.

Women's Convention- Take it to the Lord in Prayer- Part II -Lindi Banda - (Sunday 02 August 2025)

In this sermon, Privilege Tafirei preaches on the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21:28-32, challenging listeners to move beyond saying “yes” to God with their lips while disobeying Him in practice. He warns against the trap of empty religion—doing church activities and following rituals without a heart of repentance or a genuine relationship with Jesus. Drawing from personal stories and the example of how religious leaders rejected John the Baptist, he shows how pride and familiarity can blind us to God’s transforming work. He calls believers to humility, continual confession, and a lifestyle of obedience rooted in grace rather than self-righteous performance. His message urges the church to live out faith authentically, letting God’s love and truth shape daily life.

He Is More Than Enough Part V - David Kobedi - (Sunday 10 August 2025)

In this sermon, the parable of the tenants in Matthew 21 is used to show how God’s people rejected His prophets and ultimately His Son, Jesus Christ. The vineyard represents God’s kingdom, entrusted to His people to bear fruit, yet instead they chose rebellion and defiance. Jesus reveals Himself as the rejected cornerstone, who through the cross becomes the very foundation of God’s salvation plan. The message calls us to examine our hearts, repent from elf-centred living, and embrace Christ as Lord. Only by building on Him as the cornerstone can we live fruitful lives that glorify God.
